Re: Has anyone else been slow these last few weeks?

Three sales today, so I can't complain.  September was slow, but things look to be ramping back up for the holidays.  If you have seasonal stuff, get it listed now, since a lot of my recent sales have been Halloween/Christmas related.

Only sold 1 thing today , and 1 thing yesterday. Got some coats in a few weeks ago, most of them sold last week.  Now back to 1 or 2 sales a day.

Last couple of months, one week out of the month I sell something every day - 95% to California (I am in Ohio).  Rest of the month dead.  I figure they flipped the switch and I am invisible 3/4 of the month.

Doing fine on both accounts. Have had a few multi-item sales on both, too. Other account is selling some higher priced items too, so it hasn't been bad at all.

One thing we're experiencing is lack of best offers on rare items.....nobody even wants to make a low offer these days.


@tkinnebrew

Now that most sellers ask 3x the going rate for the item then place a best offer option, buyers have determined it's not worth dealing with the grouchy seller when offering a price at the going rate.

Nope. Can't keep things in stock. Don't expect a slowdown until December.

I was having a good run last week and last weekend.  Really on an upswing.  Then on Monday things just totally fizzled out.  I sold a grand total of 2 things this whole week.  It's feast or famine for me on eBay.  Never know what sort of week it is going to be, but I hope this means next week I'll be on again.

 

Good luck with your sales.  They will perk up again.

Happy 2018! May this upcoming year be a prosperous one!

I'm doing well, but bumping up against the infamous hidden limits.  I'm making enough to pay my bills but not enough to save up for new stock or, more importantly, put away for several very large expenditures coming up next summer.  It's frustrating to work so hard and feel like someone or something is actively working against you.

 

I told Mrs baantiques (she's actually the B in the BA) I was going to start buying and selling cars.  Seriously, I passed on a little Alfa convertible last weekend that probably could have netted me $1000 if I was patient.  The only problem is we live in the city and it's already starting to look like Sandford and Son around here.

Never once have I had a "grouchy seller ," and we buy a lot of best offer stuff too. Never once have we been grouchy to any sort of best offer. They HELP sales no matter how bad the offer is. When other buyers see offers made, it's a win - win.

I am Thankful we have our lives after Hurrican Harvey, Hubby still has a job , we have a roof and food, Trying to replace things we lost , We still have trash up and down our neighborhood, Bills paid , Would be nice to have a few sells to replace things, Wonderful sellers on here have helped me alot in doing just that. As far as fixing and replacing Baseboards and floors and some electrical it will take some time we know. My sells  started dropping before the Storms and keep dropping. All the changes to Ebay is not helping one bit.
